    Cute microbes

    The tardigrade looks a little weird but he's cute enough and my wife loves him. I just wish it was a little softer.

    Love.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have ordered a few or these in the past and the packaging is always surprising with all the microbes and things all over it. The plusses are always so much fun to open up and see and the tags are perfect. My microbiology lab has at like 5 or 6 and I think everyone agrees it's a crime to separate the plushie from its tag.

    I teach at the college

    I teach at the college level and I use the Giant Microbes as a great introduction to what we find in wastewater treatment basins. It always gets attention and certainly memorable for the students. I also use the e coli keychain as a great incentive for a classroom learning Jeopardy (the winners get an e. coli keychain) - what better incentive to take part and win then that ?

    My Tardigrade is a lot

    My Tardigrade is a lot cuter than the pictures show. I did a big "Squeeeee!" when I opened the package and saw it. So cute! I plan to take it to work with me, because looking at it makes me smile! I can certainly use a pick me up at work when I am stressed. I love the shade of blue as well. Well done, Giant Microbes, well done!
